How Do You Get in the Door?
How do you get in the door? What do you do once you get there? Some of the subjects to be addressed are: Gatekeepers, Getting Past HR, Direct Approaches, Controlling the Interview, Interview Methods, Hot Interview Questions, Group Interviews, Peer Interviews, Subordinate Interviews, and Recruiter Interviews.
Most employment professionals agree that approximately 80% of all jobs are found through personal referrals. Currently employed people fill most of these jobs.
The unemployed person, particularly experienced professionals, managers, and executives, easily become disconnected from the referral environment and must resort to finding jobs in an inefficient manner.
Third Party Referral is a technique of Job Referral 411 (www.jobref411.com) that helps get an interview with a hiring manager. Someone else recommending you to a job is the strongest method of finding work. It places the disconnected person back into the connected world and overcomes the problems associated with electronic hiring. Find appropriate people in your profession who are willing to recommend you as a highly qualified person to fill a specific job. Use a Job Referral 411 Referral Letter format and the Qualification Profile when the opportunity presents itself.
A special aspect of networking is used during this phase of finding a job. Establish on-going relationships with recruiters and HR people you have met. Close the “Contact Sale” by determining the frequency of contact they want.

Always carry a completed generic application with you to interviews. This will help you when it comes to filling out job applications. Do you remember the name, address, or phone number of an employer 3 years ago? What was your salary? Duties?
Use the tools. It works.
Think of how together you will look when your application is complete.
